ORIGINAL REQUEST POSTING FOLLOWS BELOW, for reference only:

This is a request for help. Who can do handle such an endeavor or point to the right way to solve the installation of an older version?

There was a previous thread having setup TeX Live 2009 on N900. The original poster is no longer with the N900 community.

Trying to install it this TeX Live Maemo 2009 version, produced this error:

PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (zlib library version does not match - header: 1.2.3, library: 1.2.7)
Apparently a known issue [see for example this post] - it requires to recompile texlive with the current zlib version.

More code output follows in regards to the error message when trying to install texlive (2009):
Code:
  
~$  LANG=en dpkg --configure -a
Setting up texlive-base (2009-7maemo6) ...
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Building format(s) --all --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-base.cnf.
	This may take some time... 
fmtutil-sys failed. Output has been stored in
/tmp/fmtutil.XXturSVC
Please include this file if you report a bug.

dpkg: error processing texlive-base (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 texlive-base
Additional links for compiling texlive:
maemo-pkg / texlive-bin git of 2009
 (unsure if it is helpful though)


Attached: full error message, as reported above.
